There are tens of these sort of projects and this one won't run on 'any' hardware as it uses some heavy libraries that certainly aren't going to work on ANY of the embedded systems I use.

Well, I'm shocked at ther deceptiveness of the article! Shocked, I tell you, shocked AND appaled.

I mean there are *so* many devices these things won't run on. It won't run on my little PIC12F678 with it's 64B of RAM and 1K flash. It won't run on my typewriter OR daisywheel and it most certainly won't work on my wax cylinder player.

A clue: "any" in this context means there are no device specific restrictions limiting it artificially. But you already knew that.

The fun things students come up with!My son currently is in an engineering Graduate program in MA. He used to think they could try making cool things and maybe actually build and sell them.Unfortunately most, if not all, can't take it beyond the classroom or home made use only. There is a huge list of patent trolls waiting on you if do.Start here: https://www.google.com/?tbm=pts#q=voice+control&tbm=pts
